Matching extendability of strongly-regular graphs and Deza graphs

Abstract:

Let G be a connected graph. A matching M in G is a set of pairwise non-adjacent edges; that is, no two edges share a common vertex. A vertex of G is matched by matching M if it is an endpoint of one of the edges in M . A perfect matching of G is a matching which matches all vertices of G. Graph G of even order is n-extendable, if

(i) it contains a matching of size n and

(ii) every such matching is contained in a perfect matching of G.

In this talk we will review known results about extendability of the strongly regular graphs and Deza graphs.
